Yeah, Jimi, I think there are different things going on with the empathy thing... Some people seem to have more of a difficulty processing faces and information gained from faces. I have trouble putting faces to names - I find eye contact to be too inimate so I intentionally don't register face information, if that makes sense.... But I can get information about what a person is feeling from their face. But some other Aspie people can't, yeah. They really try but they simply aren't able to tell.
